Best Dog Dental Chew (Jan 2023 Update)

The dogs love whimzees – not quite as much as they live their greenies – but the whimzees last longer are much tougher to work through so I suspect they are more effective as a teeth cleaner, too.SaraRam

It seems that the box that this auantity of Whimzees is packaged in allows the treats to dry out considerably. Out of the box they are brittle and don't last as long as the softer texture of the Whimzees that are packaged in an airtight container. That is why I only gave this item 2 stars. Whimzees in an airtight package are 5 star.J Hermansen

When I first received the Dentastix, my dog could smell them through the bag. She was all over me trying to get to the bag. I gave her one of the stix and she devoured it. It sure does help with her bad breath. These treats are permanently on our weekly shopping list. I haven't found these one's at my local store so I have to buy an alternate from the same manufacturer. It's a treat for my dog and they clean her teeth on a daily basis. I would definitely recommend to any dog owners out there. It's well worth it.JeffR

I love these because they are multipurpose! They help keep my dogs' teeth clean all the while keep my dogs happy by giving them something to chew on. If you have ever had a dog with bad breath you know how important it is to try and avoid that fiasco at all costs! Not only for your sniffer, but also for the dogs health! My dogs love these! They think they are treats! They love the flavor and will happily chew on them anytime! My senior dog is the only one who struggles as they are a little harder and his teeth just are not up to the challenge anymore. Otherwise if your dog loves treats and you like fresh breath these are for you!Fritzka226

As happens, especially as your dog gets older, our dog (a 70lb 5-year-old lab shepherd mix) gets some stinky breath sometimes. We tried these, in original and mint-flavored, and they really do help to make their breath better! My in-laws are big fans of greenies but their dogs (2 yellow labs) breath still always smells bad even though greenness are supposed to be the best you can buy. These dentastix work better than greenies and are a third the cost! Our dog loves them and even gets grouchy if we forget! Obviously, these are not a replacement for actual dental care but for in-between visits they work amazing! The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because these seem to mainly mask the smell and don't really "treat" the bad breath as a different brand we use does.shelby.h

While it helps with bad breath issues, you're better off just having your dogs teeth cleaned by the vet & doing maintenance. It took my poor dog 3 times before she got this out of her system. It was visible in her stool as long white stringy pieces. Took her to the vet & was cautioned to never give these again. Tossed the bag of which only 2 we're given. Waste of money & you're dog might get impacted. Better to be safe than sorryCyndyD

We have a 70 lb golden who hates getting her teeth brushed. I mean…she is so sweet and loving, but it just pushes her buttons if you mess with her mouth and you are likely to get nipped at. So I looked at the ingredients in these and gave it a try. She can be a food snob so I wasn't sure if she'd like them (seriously, she thinks bananas are the devil). She LOVES them….better than any other treats. She looks forward to them. We give her one in the morning and one before bed. She is 5 years old and started to have some bad tartar and black near her gumlines and it is going away now. I can't say for certain her breath is better but I think it may be. I know that her teeth look cleaner! And she loves them so much so I think these are a total win! Plus they have the seal of the veterinary council. I read that review about a woman saying her dog threw this up and it wasn't digested. There is no way this isn't digested….maybe her particular dog had issues with it. My Belle has never thrown up after these and she gets two a day…so she has to be digesting it just fine. Thank you Sam's for a fabulous product!!!DesignerNicole

In the last few years my Lab has developed bad breath. We've had his teeth cleaned and within a few months, it is bad again. I have tried at least a dozen different type treats to help improve the smell and nothing has worked. Now that I have been using this product for the last two months and there is a definite improvement and at half the price as some of the other ones tried. It had gotten so bad that I couldn't stand my best friend standing close by but these Dental Treats had made a big difference.SCGalFromGA

I ordered this online from Walmart for a few bucks. It has a slight bacon scent and my puppy does chew on it from time to time. It's pretty durable and is made out of polyurethane and nylon. The small size is for dogs 10 to 20 pounds. This thing will probably last a long time.michelle .t

My beagle was chewing on this bone for less than an hour. I thought it was durable enough to withstand her chewing. I was wrong. She ate a good portion of the pink center and some of the outer portion of the bone in that time. I doubt it’s safe for dogs to eat nylon, but I can’t find any information anywhere. The packaging does not state anything about dogs ingesting any part of it–whether it's safe or not.Beagles

5 stars!!! I buy these all the time and make sure I have them stocked up as well. They distract my one year old dachshund like no other toy has! I truly believe the bacon scent must be very long lasting bc some of them have lasted her MONTHS! They never break or fall apart, I just throw them out when they’ve been chewed on enough. Such a great affordable toy, especially at Walmart! AMAZINGlala.f

I purchased these in my ongoing quest to find a breath treat my ten pound terror would and could eat, to help her breath. She has multiple allergies. Additionally, I am a very picky pet mom. She eats primarily human grade, limited ingredient foods only. Most breath treats are garbage, carb loaded junk. These are well above average, hold none of her food allergies…which are all the cheaper fillers, and she will eat them! She does have a harder time with hard treats as well, after having ten teeth removed, despite regularly brushing her teeth on top of quality food and breath treats. I was told that's a small dog thing and we all have to deal with it. I hope regular brushing and these treats, which are soft enough for her little mouth, yet good enough for me to be willing to purchase for her, will help keep her remaining teeth intact.VancK

I happened upon these dental stick while on vacation. My dog is not picky so there was no reason not to patronize a small pet shop. I am glad to find them available here and will buy again. I also bought a bag of the treats to bring back to the dog sitter and her rescue who my dog was helping to acclimate to a non violent life.Nancy

Our 15 year old Labradoodle holds plaque on his teeth. In order to avoid yet another cleaning under anesthesia, we have started giving him Bark Bright Dental Sticks smeared with enzymatic toothpaste. I was impressed with the research done on this product. Bentley enjoys the sticks, despite being a picky poodle, and I think that they are having a good impression on his teeth. Time will tell, and I will report back again at a later date.Gramcrackergran

One of our dogs was starting to have dental issues. These dog sticks, along with the enzymatic paste has solved all of his problems. His breath is sooo much better.AdamandEvie

Easy to use with the bark tooth paste. The do a great job of cleaning dog's teeth for a dog that doesn't like having things in his mouth.AnadeeSpirit

I don’t get why people hype these chews. I used to give my Pomeranian these, and it gave her a slab fracture on both sides. These do not follow the knee cap rule. These are way too hard for your dog. The fact that they’re so popular shows how irresponsible the company is for letting so many dogs chew these very hard chews they may lead to slab fractures.Pomeranian123

DANGEROUS! Don’t buy this for your pets!!! My dog is a small terrier and he had a terrible reaction. He was vomiting and had a diarrhea after eating this stuff. I was really scared about his health… He is absolutely healthy, I visited Veterinaire for the check up a month ago. Also read the packaging info: it could be harmful or FATAL. Is it worth the risk??? It should be a treat, not a poison. I chose the right size and was looking after my dog while he was eating the treat but he wasn’t ok after. Also it looks and feels like plastic, it is also hard and I think it could scratch stomach or something else. I bought Whimzees for my own money so I am sharing my honest opinion. Will never ever buy this again.Miracle K

Our 125lbs large breed dog was throwing up rubbery-looking chunks several times within a couple weeks, which cost us $900 at the vet. It turned out that he was throwing up Brushzee chunks. Every time he ate a Brushzee, he threw up all of it about 18 hours later, the chew was not digested at all. We tossed out the rest and switched back to Greenies.GBXS

My furry babies love Ark Naturals Brushless Toothpaste! Every time I come home from the store I swear they know they're in the bag! They are nutritious and delicious! They love them! I received this product for free for the purpose of my review. All opinions are my own. #ad #freesamplePinkPrincess717

Can't comment on effectiveness as have not had enough time, however, I have no difficulty getting the dogs to consume these. They jump up and down when I'm getting the product out of the packet in the next room. After a couple of months, they still are just as excited. With two large dogs it's a little expensive to give them out every day but if it helps to keep their teeth clean then that will make it worth it.94Viper

I have been buying Ark Naturals Brushless Toothpaste for my chocolate lab for a few months now. I am very happy with this product! My dog loves the taste and waits for it excitedly every morning! I like that she sees it as a treat and willingly takes it, while I know it is helping her teeth with the toothpaste and chewing. My dog’s oral health is very important to me and this product makes it easier to achieve better dental health!Dina162

My little dog loves them. She has a very small mouth, as she is part Chihuahua. She always has fought having her teeth brushed, so these are the compromise. I started using them after she choked on a rawhide chip. These are much better because they break apart as she chews. I give them to her at the same time that she gets her dinner. She won't eat dinner until her chew is next to the bowl. She really likes them.Shelly

I'd like to start off by mentioning, I bought this product but SMALL. It was for my 11 week old puppy. She loved it, I was surprised because of the flavoring. Coconut Botanical. . . interesting treat for a dog. She spent a good 10 – 15 minutes devouring this treat. Her kisses now smell sweet (until her next meal) XD My dog is teething a lot, she even enjoys chewing on ice cubes, so this must be a soothing gum massaging product if it kept her occupied for that many minutes straight. Try it out! I bought these in individual packages for .87 cents 🙂 If you aren't sure with which flavor to commit to, I recommed buying the individuals which would probably only cost you $5 for knowledge of which to buy in the future 🙂 #FurryFriends #PuppyLoveedith.m

I prefer these dental treats over other popular treats. I have dachshunds that are aggressive chewers but also will eat big pieces off of treats that can lead to them throwing it up later on. These treats are a good level of toughness and are easily digested with them. Plus the scent isn't strong and it improves their breath after each use.sienna.a

Danger- choking hazard! I have 2 large dogs who spilt a “Dentastix” every morning. We ran out dentastix so I thought I would try something new. I split one of these fresh kisses double brushes and gave to dogs. After feeding these treats, I immediately regretted it. They both struggled to chew. One dog managed to “eat” it and the other one had it lodged in her throat. 45 minutes and $228 later, the treat eventually passed through her throat and in to her stomach. We are monitoring her for bloat- this situation caused an unsafe amount of gas in her abdomen.Heather Ross

We have used greenies in the past for treats for our two mulitpoo’s. They loved them. I seen this flavor and thought I would give them a new taste. I believe they liked them as much as the regular flavor we have given them. They chew them right up. I believe in the product to help with their teeth cleaning to the point we have not had to have those Teeth cleaned yet and they are 7 years oldRickster1221

My fur baby Lexi is usually very picky with her treats! I gave her one of the gingerbread flavored greenies. I swear she got a huge smile when she took her treat. She went to her little bed with her treat and woofed it down. It was the perfect size for my small 10lb baby. She came over to give me some kisses and I noticed her breath had a pleasant scent from the gingerbread. This dental treat has quickly become my Lexi’s favorite part of the day.Mellyjoy

I love the shape of these tiny festive flavored treats. They really do keep my little dachshund occupied for a good while. She loves the flavor and just goes to town gnawing on 'em. They contain natural ingredients and some vitamins and minerals and are supposed to help maintain healthy gums. All I know is she definitely does look forward to her little tooth cleaning treat every day.Kurr

I know dental care is important for my dogs (two bad Corgis). Once they grew in all their adult teeth I went on a quest to find the perfect dental chew to supplement the occasional brushing. I started where most of us would start – the cheapest chews I could find. Over the next year I tried them all. Some my dogs liked, but I would notice their teeth weren't being cleaned or their breath stunk more than normal. Others they wouldn't touch. Finally, after working my way up the ladder of dog dental chews I got to Greeneis and have not gone back since. They have been using Greenies now for close to two years (Dogs are now 3 and 4). Sure, they still have dog breath but it's not foul like it was with those other dental chews. I also notice very minimal plaque on their teeth, which I keep tabs on regularly. What sealed the deal was when I took them to the vet for a check up the first year they had been getting their Greenies and the vet remarked how excellent their teeth looked. I told her I seldom brushed their teeth anymore but gave them a Greenie each morning, which she nodded in approval. The cons? It's expensive compared to other dental chews, but I can't put a price on my dogs. These are the only ones that seemed to work that they like. I've also noticed some supply issues lately where it can be a pain to find them in the regular size. But most importantly, my dogs love their Greenies. Every morning after their go outside they know it's Greenie time. They walk over to the pantry and keep their eyes focused on it. Once I open it up and grab the bag they start tippy-tapping in excitement and each take a Greenie to their doggie beds and chew it up!EL EF

I've had a variety of dogs throughout the years, and I've always fed them Greenies. They're simple to digest AS LONG AS THE DOG DOESN'T SWALLOW THEM WHOLE AND CHEWS THEM! These treats are designed to be eaten, and they can help a dog's teeth and oral health. They're completely natural and come in a variety of sizes, including little ones for my Chihuahua. I feed the large one to my pit bull/boxer mix. They are not suitable for dogs with dental problems such as poor teeth or gum diseases since the dog must be able to chew them apart and consume them. However, I strongly suggest them if your dog has healthy teeth and gums and does not want to swallow them whole.caitlyn.c

Honestly I was very leary about purchasing these. I have read about some brands in the past that were horrible for dogs but after reading the reviews I decided to purchase a small bag and try it out. Both my pointer pups like the dog treats. I don't give them the treats every day but instead about every three or four days. There is already a difference in the amount of plaque on their teeth. I was actually so surprised to see the difference. Note: I also brush their teeth. So all in all these really do work and so far no problems with neither one of the pups.ProudTxMom

These Pedigree dentastix chewy chunx chicken flavored treats are for small to medium sized dogs and a new favorite for my dog, Zeus and he really loves the taste of them and begs for more! These treats have a very unique shape and have a perfect texture to help keep my dogs teeth clean. I also like the ingredients in these treats, as well! I will definitely be purchasing these in the future and highly recommend them!Elwood29

Ordered these to have on hand for our granddog. He likes the flavor and they seem to be made of quality ingredients. They're a good size and encourage chewing rather than just immediately swallowing the treat. Also, a good weight/shape for balancing on his nose to work on various tricks.Coco

I always find it hard to write reviews for Dog Products. that being said, all I can go on is the reaction of my Dog. Because when it comes to her, sky's the limit. Samantha Loves anything peanut butter, and anything chicken. she is no youngster anymore so we are pretty careful what we give her. nothing to big, and nothing too hard. this was a perfect mid day snack for our Elderly lady. I don't know what else to say. she loved em.harryruffner

This will be a very honest review. Every since my dog was spade, he stopped licking his privates and now literally licks everything else lol. He licks on his front paws when he is relaxing, if anyone is holding him he will "lick your arm or hand off"(sarcasm 😄), or he will also lay and lick on the carpet smh lol. (I guess it's a comfort thing.) Well it was a small period of time when it was a lapse in oral chews because they became too pricey. BIG MISTAKE!! His breath became bad. I immediately had to find a more reasonably cost worthy product so I found these. I used them for a period of time so I can get a good review. I can tell a difference in his breath!! He definitely loves them so I will continue to buy these!!tia.b

These are great 😃 to have your pet 🐶 because they truly help freshen your dog's breath in a semi natural way. My dog truly enjoys the flavor and texture when I toss one out as a treat after his kibble dinner. I cannot get his teeth cleaned at the vet due to the fact that he unfortunately suffers from seizures. So, his oral health is of paramount importance. I also like giving him baby carrots as well. He likes the smaller sized ones since he is a mid sized baby at just over 30 pounds.stephanie.f

I have an 8 pound 9 year old long hair Chihuahua mix she is highly allergic to… well it feels like everything! But in reality she suffers from a lot of allergies we think she may even be allergic to freshly cut grass she has allergies to chicken and beef which gives her ear infections. Also flea and tick control medicine that she takes orally causes her skin to break out with big scabs and she pulls her hair out for the full 30 days with big hot spots,, then when it is dissolves out of her system she's back to being her normal relaxed self. needless to say after a lot of agonizing experiences and a ton of money I hope this review will help someone out there experiencing these frustrations and heartaches. since she was five years old we have tried to stay on a certain food that is made in Canada that we order online called Performatrin Ultra of course minus all chicken and beef. And we only use VetIQ maximum strength hip and Joint chews, because she is a small dog we kept her a half one every other day so a 90 count last us for half a year if not longer if she's really having trouble with Movement we will give her a whole one every other day. We order Ours from Amazon and they've always come fresh and she tolerates it well she loves the flavor looks forward to her treats. And we only give her Frontline Flea and Tick drops which she tolerates very well. She takes this maximum strength hip and joint treat for movement. Since giving her this she's like a puppy again she may need help getting up on the couch sometimes but for the most part she can get up the stairs like a puppy and the heartworm medicine she does well with is called Inceptor you can get from a vet. And the ONLY TREATS SHE LIKES PERIOD IS DENTALLIFE BY PURINA THE SPONGY ONES.. If your on the fence, I would recommend trying these treats for a finicky eater and I order them from Amazon I get small/medium for a great price and they ship them on auto-ship, Especially if your dog has allergies and or skin issues like my dog has! I wouldn't recommend any other dog treats because I've tried them and there's a lot of them out there! They've cost me a lot of money for vet bills ear infections for skin issues and they have toxic things added. #Purina #Amazon #dentallifedawn.m

These Minties Twists Chews Actually solved two problems with our French Bulldog. The first was finding a treat for him that would agree with his sensitive stomach. the second was getting his teeth clean which is a struggle with him. I had pulled out the bag and it was if he knew they were for him. He came right over and sat down . I gave him one, he took it and ran over to his pad and ate it. they are the perfect size for him and because they are twists they give him different angles to chew while cleaning his teeth.He was done in a few minutes. I had my daughter sniff his breath without telling her what flavor they were to see if they worked. She did notice a vanilla scent to his breath. The treats seemed to agree with his sensitive stomach as well. I was very impressed with the quality of these treats, the ingredients and the fact that they are made in the USA, so I know I'm getting something that's safe. I highly recommend these treats.BOBMERCU

I love my dog but his breath can be a little, shall we say, overwhelming at times. I love the idea of helping freshen his breath without him knowing it. No more chasing him around the house with a doggie toothbrush… instead, I just offer him a minty treat, which is really a treat for both of us. MINTIES are our new “bedtime goody.” My dog and I are both thrilled. He clearly likes the taste and I like the fact that peppermint and vanilla are natural breath fresheners. Even though my pup is a heavy chewer, the twisted shape of MINTIES seems to last longer than the average dental chew. My pup is 80 lbs and the Large size is perfect for him.Melissa D

My pups recently started eating Minties Twists and they love them! I love them because they are helping to get rid of their doggie breath and leaving a more pleasant minty scent in their mouth. I have two shih-poos and give them one each per day, two if they are being rewarded. It’s nice that they are wheat and corn free, low in fat, and easy digestible. I like them because they help to remove plaque and tartar on their teeth while at the same time being a treat for them. I like that they don’t just chow down on them so quickly. They have to sit there and chew on them for a little while, so they give the chews some time to work on their teeth. My dogs are so excited when they hear the bag open. They sit so patiently and wait for their treat. I am glad that they ended up liking them so much! I have bought some treats in the past that claim to clean their teeth and give them better breath, but my pups would just take the treat and go leave it somewhere and wouldn’t touch it. Glad to have found this product and have added it to their daily menu!SeraM118

My dog really like's these help's keep the tarter off his teeth. Plus help's with his breathe. To him there like another treat.wendy.b

I grabbed two. I love it. We always end up buying the good stuff!! I guess great minds think alike thats why we all got this awesome product!! Great stuff!!usp.p

This product is absolutely amazing! My pup does not really suffer from bad doggy breath, however I would still like to keep it under control. She loves these and little does she know that the treat that she dances for is cleaning her teeth at the same time. I definitely recommend this product!trish.b

Our dogs have all loved Greenies, even the picky eaters. We use them daily to help control plaque build up and keep our dogs teeth healthy. Occasionally we pick up the seasonal flavors to keep things interesting and they love it. We've never had them reject any flavor and the Pumpkin Spice actually smells better than some others we've had. They are rather expensive but I think they're worth every penny. I also appreciate that they offer different sizes to suit all dogs. I would recommend trying these.kristen.m

My dog likes these a lot, but he LOVES LOVES LOVES the blueberry ones, which I unfortunately have to order online and have shipped to me because our store only carries the plain green DogGreenies. This is ok because I have the membership which gives unlimited deliveries. Btw, I give my dog a Greenies Dental Treat every day, and his veterinarian says his teeth look great.FoodieDogLover

My furbabies had these last Halloween (the large sized ones) and they absolutely loved them! These made my dogs breath smell so good. My dogs are 70+ lbs so they ate the treats quickly and was ready for more. They are at a tad expensive so it adds up when you have six dogs but I will continue to purchase but only on occasion. I do recommend these to others.shelby.c

My 6 month old mini aussie shepperd loves chewing, she’s a bit of a power chewer. These treats are far too soft for her, she just eats them in under 20 seconds – I doubt they’re cleaning her teeth. We originally gave her the adult version before realizing there’s a puppy version. The adult version worked great and her teeth were fresh and white (very strong as well) and her breath smells fine. Although we had 2 other “teeth cleaners” working with it (bully sticks and her kibble) All in all, great product. She loves the taste and chews on it fine, although after awhile she will try and bury it for some reason. Just wouldn’t recommend if your dog chews through things easily. I can easily bend the treat with my hands with little effort.Recoil the mini aussie

I hesitated to try these as opposed to the original greenies as my 16 year old dog has been enjoying the original since his puppy days. I overlooked them on a couple of visits because the Aging Care Greenies only were sold in a large box and I didn't want to be stuck with so much if my dog didn't like them. My last visit an employee reminded me I could return the box if my dog didn't like them, so I figured why not. My dog is so much happier with these than the original! They're soft enough for him to easily chew (he had ALL teeth pulled so uses his jaw to chew) and they're made extra special for old guys like my little furball. I usually have to cut up the greenies with a scissor but these are soft enough to twist and break into pieces. If you have an aging dog, I highly recommend these!MeMer12
